I have 10 O's but my upper left O only shows 4/5.
7:13 am
hokie carla
barely got half on the S. this grid is a lot of work for 300 words. hopefully this is the hard row and it'll get easier.
7:16 am
BzznBea
That's weird. I have counted and recounted. I refreshed and counted again. Still showed that I needed one of the upper left.
7:17 am
hokie carla
that is odd.
7:17 am
hokie carla
tell me what all the o's are and I'll see if it happens to me 🤣🤣
7:18 am

I just counted again...Now my word list says I only have 9.

7:40 am
MollyL
Wow, a million people without power in Louisiana
7:40 am
BzznBea
I saw that. So sad.
7:44 am
MollyL
I guess when you live somewhere that hurricanes are so frequent, a generator is a must.
7:45 am
BzznBea
Yes, but they are expensive and a lot of NOLA residents can't afford them
7:45 am
mael
yeah, but generators cost money and LA has some of the highest rates of poverty in the country
7:54 am
mkg
i said when katrina hit that they should not rebuild new orleans and instead move to higher ground. there are things that man cannot control and hurricaines are one of them.
7:55 am
mkg
so sad. but to live so close to the shore is not a good idea in that area which is hurricaine heaven..........
7:56 am
mael
the problem is less New Orleans and more what has been done to the coastline of LA (and everywhere in the US, unfortunately). Marshes are protective and you need to let silt build up on the shore from rivers. But we damn the rivers and channel them them and we dredge them and we build right up to the ocean and it is not sustainable
7:57 am
mkg
are hurricaines getting worse? i dont recall hearing of such problems years ago.............
7:57 am
mael
a little, but the rising ocean makes everything worse
7:57 am
mkg
mael you are so right. man wants to control nature and we just cant.
7:58 am
mael
you build levees that can withstand a 20 foot surge but then the ocean rises and the levees can only protect from a 18 foot surge and then 15 and then you need new levees and...
7:58 am
mkg
i am missing the second column o word and e word if anyone has stats or clues. ty. i saw an os mentioned but not the stat.
7:58 am

There have been category 4 hurricanes since the 18 an 1900's.
7:59 am

climate change is going to change everything
7:59 am

mael, i wonder what the effect is on the netherlands.....they also live below sea level.
7:59 am
MollyL
We are all doomed. Run for your lives.
7:59 am
mael
there have been cat 5 hurricanes for the entirety of human history
7:59 am
mael
nah, the rich people will be fine
7:59 am

it's everybody else that is going to suffer
7:59 am

I thought the same when they showed people rebuilding after Sandy in the northeast - even This Old House was in on it, rebuilding some place on stilts on the sandbar with breakaway walls underneath. I just wondered "why?!?"
8:00 am
mkg
molly, you are so right..........i once read a theory that the insects will be the survivors in the far future after man and the mammals all die out
8:00 am
mael
thankfully there were programs after Sandy where federal money was used to buy up the land and not rebuild
8:00 am
mkg
yes why rebuild on the shores?
8:01 am
mael
marshes are our buffer zone. Rising sea levels would not be as much of a problem if we let marshes do what the are supposed to do
8:01 am
mkg
but a century ago man didnt try to build a house on the shore.......our wealth is the issue.
8:01 am
mkg
yeah marshes!!!!!!!!!! i vote to build marshes wherever we can!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:01 am
MollyL
I have never understood the massive structural building that has happened on the tiny isle of land known as New York City
8:02 am
rbud
mudslides in California... houses going down... stupid.
8:02 am
mael
seriously! you just need to let wetlands expand back into the shore, but we don't. We hem them in with buildings and roads and golf courses and shit.
8:02 am
mkg
we just cant control nature. nature is really god..........
8:02 am
mkg
wetlands are key to it all
8:02 am
mael
well, we could try not to wreck things. That would be good.
8:04 am
mael
climate change is going to bring a lot of chickens home to roost, but unfortunately the rich and powerful are not going to feel any real consequences, just everyone else.
8:04 am
mkg
in ocean city md, they built marshes and wetlands in front of all the buildings. people were upset initially but it worked in keeping things good.......so now instead of walking 50 ft to the beach you walk 200 feet. no big deal but ecologically good.
8:05 am
mkg
and probably you need 500 feet not just 200 feet
8:05 am
mael
realistically, yeah. But it's better than nothing.
8:05 am
mkg
also in NJ some areas built this stuff. they pushed the coast line out and allow no new buildings closer to the beach.
8:06 am
mkg
ok all, any clues for the E or O words second column? ty

8:35 am
MollyL
Ends in those three letters...animal raised for it's wool that starts with alp and a Spanish gourd rattle instrument that starts with mar
8:36 am

The os starts with flightless bird. This chat is hard to follow
8:36 am

molly the alp clue is for es?
8:37 am

es is a 6. os is a 7.

i dont have the os or the es
8:43 am

hurshy
rocket ship? like a model one?
9:09 am
BzznBea
It has all the bells and whistles.
9:10 am
BzznBea
No, hurshy, a car. But the technology in is is probably better than the Apollo spaceships.
9:10 am

well, i followed the kettle cleaning instructions but it did not work
9:25 am
BzznBea
What kettle are you cleaning?
9:26 am
hurshy
electric tea kettle that sat in the basement not being used for two years and now makes the tea water taste weird
9:26 am
BzznBea
HOw did you clan it, ru?
9:27 am
rururocks
it likely has rust hursh inside.. can you look with a flashlight
9:27 am

i ran it with a 1:1 mixture of water and vinegar

9:29 am

or leave a mixture of baking soda and water in overnight. It's helpful in absorbing odors
9:31 am

oh do you do that transporting dogs from one region to another for better chance of adoption?

"This will be his last vehicle". Should I be worried about Mr. Bea?

9:45 am
hurshy
so you're saying he's not immortal?
9:45 am
BzznBea
Un fortunately, no.
9:47 am

hurshy - maybe your problem isn't the kettle, but something in the water or the water pipes
10:28 am
cybernan
have you looked at the filter on the end of the faucet?
10:29 am
hurshy
no, it's not the water. i have two kettles. the one with the broken lid, the tea comes out fine, but when i pour it, the lid falls off. the one with the non-broken lid makes the water taste funny.
10:29 am
hurshy
i'm getting a new kettle, but was hoping to fix the taste issue on that one anyway
10:30 am
cybernan
guess you need to buy a new kettle then
10:31 am
rururocks
toss the other pots then hursh ... I would just get a new one too
10:31 am

hurshy - try boiling a cut lemon in the kettle - it might do the trick
10:31 am
ursh
should say halve a lemon
10:37 am

Using filtered water in a tea kettle or coffeemaker makes a big difference. A BRITA pitcher is a good investment.

anybody know, if you have a recipe for a loaf of banana bread, how many muffins worth that would make if you make it in muffin form instead of loaf form?
2:42 pm
hokie carla
I would think 12?
2:48 pm
hurshy
idk that seems like a lot of batter for 12
2:48 pm
hokie carla
well you could fill them higher than usual and have big muffin tops or do 18
2:51 pm
hokie carla
mixes often have this kind of info on the box, you could google a banana bread mix and see if you can zoom in on the back of the box.
2:51 pm
hokie carla
I will see if I have any
2:52 pm
hokie carla
I do not, but I do have a muffin mix that makes 12 muffins and it has directions for making it a quick bread

i dont have either 8
2:55 pm

(because if you are, you need to adjust the baking temp - muffins cook faster)
2:55 pm

isnt that a 7?
2:55 pm

I didn't either, thx
2:56 pm

ty....there were several words i thought i had entered this morning....
7:16 pm
penquis

7:17 pm
MollyL
I can't stress this enough. Refresh every time you log out. Otherwise you will have lost words.
7:17 pm
penquis
of course, it's possible that i did not enter them....sometimes the cursor is not in the box when i type...
7:19 pm
hokie carla
ok, tried looking up the last CR7 and can't find it
7:19 pm
MollyL
I think with big grids, people start typing really fast and typo...a lot
7:19 pm
penquis
yes, i do type fast at the beginning....bad habit from playing competitive boggle....
7:20 pm
